Women, Infants & Children (WIC Program)

WIC gives you access to healthy food, nutrition education and breastfeeding guidance. If you’re pregnant, a caregiver, or a mom with a child under 5, you can get the right personalized support for you and your family.

ALL caregivers are welcome at WIC. Caregivers with a low to medium income and those who are part of other programs such as foster care, medical assistance, or SNAP are eligible. Contact us for details.

We have resources, knowledge, and tools to help you be the parent you want to be.

Breastfeeding is recognized worldwide by scientific and medical organizations as a means to improve infant nutrition and maternal health, promote child development, and reduce health disparities. Research shows that when mothers are supported by family, friends, and employers and they get breastfeeding help from lactation consultants and breastfeeding peer counselors, they resolve problems quicker and become more satisfied with their infant feeding experience. The Monroe County WIC Program can provide you with FREE information on breastfeeding; please call the BREASTFEEDING WARM LINE (734-240-7901) anytime day or night to learn more. A Lactation Specialist will return your call within 2 business days.
